Kevin O'Neill, emeritierter Philosophieprofessor, beschäftigt sich mit der Darstellung des Todes in der Kultur. Sein akademisches Interesse führte ihn zur Erforschung verschiedener Aspekte wie posthumer Fotografie, Friedhofsgestaltung, Spiritismus und dem modernen Konzept des Internet-Jenseits. O'Neill untersucht, wie unterschiedliche Kulturen und Individuen mit Themen der Sterblichkeit und dem Danach umgehen. Seine Arbeit bietet eine tiefgründige und einzigartige Perspektive auf eine fundamentale menschliche Erfahrung.

Edited by Alan Moore. After the appreciative reception afforded to its premier edition, lauded throughout the gutters of the world, the second issue of Alan Moore's mystifying new underground publication DODGEM LOGIC is now available. Delivering 52 pages of full-colour solid content thanks to its flinty-eyed Puritan policy of no advertisements, this plucky bi-monthly periodical is stuffed to the gills with wisdom and wonderment.Behind three luscious variant (and random) covers, we have this issue's cover feature, a sexy yet somehow sinister Burlesque photo spread from internationally acclaimed maestro Mitch Jenkins with an accompanying article on Burlesque past, present and future by our exotica expert, Melinda Gebbie. ... And much much more!And extending the ingratiating policy of quaintly and nostalgically including a free gift with every issue, and replacing the astonishing free CD of our debut, DODGEM LOGIC's unkempt figurehead and founder also contributes a questionable eight-page mini-comic, Astounding Weird Penises, being the only solo comic book that he has managed to create in his otherwise lazy thirty year career.Published by Mad Love/Knockabout (and available from Top Shelf as well). -- 52-page magazine with mini-comic, 8" x 11.5"
London 1898. Die viktorianische Epoche nähert sich ihrem Ende, das 20. Jahrhundert rückt näher. Es ist eine Zeit großer Veränderungen und eine Ära der Stagnation, eine Periode sittlicher Odnung und schändlich chaotischer Zustände. Es ist eine Epoche, die Helden braucht.§§Allan Quatermain, Kapitän Nemo, Hawley Griffin, Dr. Henry Jekyll, Mr. Edward Hyde und Mina Murray sind diese Helden, und gemeinsam bilden sie die "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", die Liga der außergewöhnlichen Gentlemen.§§Angeworben vom rätselhaften Campion Bond, der seine Befehle vom mysteriösen "M" erhält, werden die sechs Abenteurer in den Dienst ihres Empires genötigt, als dieses sie braucht. Sie müssen einem teuflischen Doktor und seinen tückischen Plänen zur Übernahme der Weltherrschaft entgegentreten. Doch die Dinge sind nicht immer, was sie scheinen, auch andere Faktoren, kryptische wie korpuskuläre, spielen eine Rolle. Ein bemerkenswertes Drama entfaltet sich ...
It's one month after the events in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol 1, and the skies over England are filled with flaming rockets as Mars launches the first salvo of an invasion. Only our stalwart adventurers - Allan Quatermain, Mina Harker, Captain Nemo, Hawley Griffin, and Mr Edward Hyde - can save mother England and the Earth itself.
In the future, wars will no longer be fought by men of flesh and blood. Instead, robots march forth into battle, to finish a job left half-done. It is not their war, not their cause, and yet they fight and die for the cause, heroes one and all. Hammerstein: the leader. Joe Pineapples: the ultimate assassin. Blackblood: the traitor. Mongrol: the killer machine. Deadlock: the crazed priest of Khaos. Mek-Quake: the coward. Ro-Jaws: the garbage eater. They are the Mek-Nificent Seven, they are the A.B.C Warriors - atomic, bacterial and chemical war robots, programmed for destruction - and this is their story.
England in the mid-1950s is not the same as it was. The powers that be have instituted some changes. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen have been disbanded and disavowed, and the country is under the control of an iron-fisted regime. Now, after many years, the still youthful Mina Murray and a rejuvenated Allan Quatermain return in search of some answers - answers that can only be found in a book buried deep in the vaults of their old headquarters - a book that holds the key to the hidden history of the League throughout the ages: The Black Dossier.
Continuing in the adventurous tradition of their self-contained thriller Heart of Ice, Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill present a blazing narrative that rampages through twentieth century culture and portrays the volatile convergence or four startling and striking women in a place of long totalitarian shadows.
Chapter Two takes place in the psychedelic daze of Swinging London during 1969, a place where Tadukic Acid Diethylamide 26 is the drug of choice, and where different underworlds are starting to overlap dangerously to an accompaniment of sit-ins and sitars
In an alternate England in 1958, Mina Murray and Allan Quatermain seek the Black Dossier, which contains the history of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen through the centuries, while fleeing from deadly secret agents.
